yes, I think you're right that each has it's place. Another particular instance when client-side scripting would be better is if you have no cgi access to the server (also unfortunately an increasing situation).
Also wanted to add for the sake of clarity that when I said "more and more people are opting out of client-side scripts" I meant endusers rather than developers. I can't say I've seen a decrease in the use of javascript and similar client-side scripts...just that there is an increasing number of tools available to block them, and users are apparently using those tools. Take for example the Firefox extensions made specifically for controlling scripts, where it wasn't too long ago when browsers that supported javascript either allowed all or merely gave you the option to disable it entirely.
